Definitions
- the present invention concerns a novel radical polymerization process based on transition metal-mediated atom or group transfer polymerization ("atom transfer radical polymerization").
- Living polymerization renders unique possibilities of preparing a multitude of polymers which are well-defined in terms of molecular dimension, polydispersity, topology, composition, functionalization and microstructure. Many living systems based on anionic, cationic and several other types of initiators have been developed over the past 40 years (see O.W. Webster, Science , 251, 887 (1991)).
- Cationic polymerizations are notably disclosed in U.S. patent no. 5,169,914 (to Kaszas et al ) and in U.S. patent no. 5,451,647 (to Faust ).
- radical polymerization offers the advantages of being applicable to polymerization of a wide variety of commercially important monomers, many of which cannot be polymerized by other polymerization processes. Moreover, it is easier to make random copolymers by radical polymerization than by other (e.g., ionic) polymerization processes. Certain block copolymers cannot be made by other polymerization processes. Further, radical polymerization processes can be conducted in bulk, in solution, in suspension or in an emulsion, in contrast to other polymerization processes.
- the first approach involves the situation where growing radicals react reversibly with scavenging radicals to form covalent species.
- the second approach involves the situation where growing radicals react reversibly with covalent species to produce persistent radicals.
- the third approach involves the situation where growing radicals participate in a degenerative transfer reaction which regenerates the same type of radicals.
- a "living" poly(vinyl acetate) can be prepared using an Al(i-Bu) 3 : Bpy:TEMPO initiating system ( Mardare et al , Macromolecules, 27 , 645 (1994)).
- An initiating system based on benzoyl peroxide and chromium acetate has been used to conduct the controlled radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate ( Lee et al , J. Chem. Soc. Trans. Faraday Soc. I , 74 , 1726 (1978); Mardare et al , Polym. Prep. (ACS), 36(1) (1995)).
- Tazaki et al disclose a redox iniferter system based on reduced nickel and benzyl halides or xylylene dihalides. The examples earlier disclosed by Tazaki et al do not include a coordinating ligand. Tazaki et al also disclose the polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate using their iniferter system.
- Bamford also discloses a Ni[P(OPh) 3 ] 4 /CCl 4 or CBr 4 system for polymerizing methyl methacrylate or styrene, and use of Mo(CO) n to prepare a graft copolymer from a polymer having a brominated backbone and as a suitable transition metal catalyst for CCl 4 , CBr 4 or CCl 3 CO 2 Et initiators for polymerizing methyl methacrylate.
- Organic halides other than CCl 4 and CBr 4 are also disclosed.
- Mn 2 (CO) 10 /CCl 4 is taught as a source of CCl 3 radicals.
- Bamford also teaches that systems such as Mn(acac) 3 and some vanadium (V) systems have been used as a source of radicals, rather than as a catalyst for transferring radicals.
- U.S. patent no. 5,405,913 discloses a redox initiating system consisting of Cu II salts, enolizable aldehydes and ketones (which do not contain any halogen atoms), various combinations of coordinating agents for Cu II and Cu I , and a strong amine base that is not oxidized by Cu II .
- the process of Harwood et al requires use of a strong amine base to deprotonate the enolizable initiator (thus forming an enolate ion), which then transfers a single electron to Cu II , consequently forming an enolyl radical and Cu I .
- the redox initiation process of Harwood et al is not reversible.
- Atom transfer radical addition is a known method for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis.
- Curran, D. P. Synthesis 1988 , 489; Curran, D. P. in Free Radicals in Synthesis and Biology , Minisci, F., ed., Kluwer: Dordrecht, 1989, p. 37; and Curran, D. P. in Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, Trost, B. M., Fleming, I., eds., Pergamon: Oxford, 1991, Vol. 4, p. 715.
- two types of atom transfer methods have been largely developed.
- alkyl iodides may induce the degenerative transfer process in radical polymerization, leading to a controlled radical polymerization of several alkenes.
- alkyl iodides are outstanding iodine atom donors that can undergo a fast and reversible transfer in an initiation step and degenerative transfer in a propagation step (see Gavnor et al , Polym. Prep. (Am. Chem. Soc., Polym. Chem. Div.), 1995 , 36(1), 467; Wang et al , Polym. Prep. (Am. Chem. Soc., Polym. Chem. Div.), 1995 , 36(1), 465; Matyjaszewski et al , Macromolecules, 1995 , 28, 2093).
- alkyl bromides and chlorides are relatively inefficient degenerative transfer reagents.
- the transition metal species, M t n abstracts halogen atom X from the organic halide, R-X, to form the oxidized species, M t n+1 X, and the carbon-centered radical R • .
- the radical, R • reacts with alkene, M, with the formation of the intermediate radical species, R-M - .
- the reaction between M t n+1 X and R-M - results in the target product, R-M-X, and regenerates the reduced transition metal species, M t n , which further reacts with R-X and promotes a new redox process.
- the resulting copolymers contain at most 20-30% of IB and have low molecular weights because of degradative chain transfer of IB (U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,411,599 and 2,531,196; and Mashita et al , Polymer, 36 , 2973 (1995).
- Conjugated monomers such acrylic esters and acrylonitrile react with donor monomers such as propylene, isobutylene, styrene in the presence of alkylaluminum halide to give 1:1 alternating copolymers (Hirooka et al , J. Polym. Sci. Polym. Chem ., 11 , 1281 (1973)).
- the copolymer of IB and methyl acrylate (MA) obtained by using ethyl aluminum sesquichloride and 2-methyl pentanoyl peroxide as an initiating system is highly alternating, with either low ( Kuntz et al , J. Polym. Sci. Polym. Chem., 16 , 1747 (1978)) or high (60%) isotacticity in the presence of EtAlCl 2 (10 molar% relative to MA) at 50 °C ( Florjanczyk et al , Makromol. Chem., 183 , 1081 (1982)).
- alkyl boron halide was found to have a much higher activity than alkyl aluminum halide in alternating copolymerization of IB and acrylic esters ( Mashita et al , Polymer, 36 , 2983 (1995)).
- the polymerization rate has a maximum at about -50 °C and decreased significantly above 0 °C.
- the copolymerization is controlled by O 2 in terms of both rate and molecular weight.
- the alternating copolymer was obtained when [IB] 0 > [Acrylic esters] 0 . Stereoregularity was considered to be nearly random.
- the copolymer is an elastomer of high tensile strength and high thermal decomposition temperature. The oil resistance is very good, especially at elevated temperatures, and the hydrolysis resistance was excellent compared to that of the corresponding poly(acrylic ester)s ( Mashita et al , supra ).
- Dendrimers have recently received much attention as materials with novel physical properties (D. A. Tomalia, A. M. Naylor, W. A. G. III, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 29 , 138 (1990); J. M. J. Frechet, Science 263 , 1710 (1994)). These polymers have viscosities lower than linear analogs of similar molecular weight, and the resulting macromolecules can be highly functionalized. However, the synthesis of dendrimers is not trivial and requires multiple steps, thus generally precluding their commercial development.
- one object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for radical polymerization of alkenes based on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), which provides a level of molecular control over the polymerization process presently obtainable only by living ionic or metathesis polymerization, and which leads to more uniform and more highly controllable products.
- ATRP atom transfer radical polymerization
- a further object of the present invention is to provide novel improvements to a method for radical polymerization of alkenes based on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), which increases initiator efficiencies and process yields, and improves product properties.
- ATRP atom transfer radical polymerization
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a broad variety of novel (co)polymers having more uniform properties than those obtained by conventional radical polymerization.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide novel (co)polymers having new and useful structures and properties.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for radically polymerizing a monomer which is adaptable to use with existing equipment.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a (co)polymer which relies on readily available starting materials and catalysts.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide (co)polymers having a wide variety of compositions (e.g., random, alternating, tapered, end-functional, telechelic, etc.) and topologies (block, graft, star, dendritic or hyperbranched, comb, etc.) having controlled, uniform and/or well-defined structures and properties.
- compositions e.g., random, alternating, tapered, end-functional, telechelic, etc.
- topologies block, graft, star, dendritic or hyperbranched, comb, etc.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for radically polymerizing a monomer which can use water as a solvent and which provides novel water-soluble (co)polymers.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide novel (co)polymers which are useful as gels and hydrogels, and to provide novel methods for making such (co)polymers.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide novel (co)polymers which are useful in a wide variety of applications (for example, as adhesives, asphalt modifiers, in contact lenses, as detergents, diagnostic agents and supports therefor, dispersants, emulsifiers, elastomers, engineering resins, viscosity index improvers, in ink and imaging compositions, as leather and cement modifiers, lubricants and/or surfactants, with paints and coatings, as paper additives and coating agents, as an intermediate for preparing larger macromolecules such as polyurethanes, as resin modifiers, in textiles, as water treatment chemicals, in the chemical and chemical waste processing, composite fabrication, cosmetics, hair products, personal care products in plastics compounding as, for example, an antistatic agent, in food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals [as, e.g., a bulking agent, "slow release” or sustained release compounding agent], in rubber, and as a preservative).
- adhesives for example, as adhesives, asphalt modifiers,
- Living/controlled polymerization i.e., when chain breaking reactions such as transfer and termination are substantially absent
- Living/controlled polymerization enables control of various parameters of macromolecular structure such as molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and terminal functionalities. It also allows the preparation of various copolymers, including block and star copolymers.
- Living/controlled radical polymerization requires a low stationary concentration of radicals, in equilibrium with various dormant species.
- controlled refers to the ability to produce a product having one or more properties which are reasonably close to their predicted value (presuming a particular initiator efficiency). For example, if one assumes 100% initiator efficiency, the molar ratio of catalyst to monomer leads to a particular predicted molecular weight.
- the polymerization is said to be "controlled” if the resulting number average molecular weight (M w (act)) is reasonably close to the predicted number average molecular weight (M w (pred)); e.g., within an order of magnitude, preferably within a factor of four, more preferably within a factor of three and most preferably within a factor of two (i.e., M w (act) is in the range of from (0.1) x M w (pred) to 10 x M w (pred), preferably from (0.25) x M w (pred) to 4 x M w (pred), more preferably from (0.5) x M w (pred) to 2 M w (pred), and most preferably from (0.8) x M w (pred) to 1.2 x M w (pred)).
- the importance of the relative deactivation/propagation rates decreases proportionally with increasing polymer chain length and/or increasing predicted molecular weight or degree of polymerization.
- the present invention describes use of novel initiating systems leading to living/controlled radical polymerization.
- the initiation system is based on the reversible formation of growing radicals in a redox reaction between various transition metal compounds and an initiator, exemplified by (but not limited to) alkyl halides, aralkyl halides or haloalkyl esters.
- a "living" radical bulk polymerization of styrene at 130°C affords the predicted molecular weight up to M n ⁇ 10 5 with a narrow molecular weight distribution (e.g., M w /M n ⁇ 1.5).
- a key factor in the present invention is to achieve rapid exchange between growing radicals present at low stationary concentrations (in the range of from 10 -9 mol/L to 10 -5 mol/L, preferably 10 -8 mol/L to 10 -5 mol/L) and dormant chains present at higher concentrations (typically in the range 10 -4 mol/L to 3 mol/L, preferably 10 -2 mol/L to 10 -1 mol/L). It may be desirable to "match" the initiator/catalyst/ligand system and monomer(s) such that these concentration ranges are achieved.
- concentration ranges are not essential to conducting polymerization, certain disadvantageous effects may result if the concentration ranges are exceeded. For example, if the concentration of growing radicals exceeds 10 -5 mol/L, there may be too many active species in the reaction, which may lead to an undesirable increase in the rate of side reactions (e.g., radical-radical quenching, radical abstraction from species other than the catalyst system, etc.). If the concentration of growing radicals is less than 10 -9 mol/L, the rate may be undesirably slow. However, these considerations are based on an assumption that only free radicals are present in the reaction system. It is believed that some radicals are in a caged form, the reactivities of which, especially in termination-deactivation reactions, may differ from those of uncaged free radicals.
- the concentration of dormant chains is less than 10 -4 mol/L, the molecular weight of the product polymer may increase dramatically, thus leading to a potential loss of control of the molecular weight and the polydispersity of the product.
- the concentration of dormant species is greater than 3 mol/L, the molecular weight of the product may become too small, and the properties of the product may more closely resemble the properties of oligomers. (However, oligomeric products are useful, and are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.)
- a concentration of dormant chains of about 10 -2 mol/L provides product having a molecular weight of about 100,000 g/mol.
- a concentration of dormant chains exceeding 1 M leads to formation of (roughly) less than decameric products, and a concentration of about 3 M leads to formation of (predominantly) trimers.
- the present invention includes the following:
- the present invention concerns improved methods of atom or group transfer radical polymerization, in which a proportion (e.g., 0.1-99.9 mol%, preferably 0.2-10 mol% and more preferably 0.5-5 mol%) of the transition metal catalyst is in an oxidized or reduced state, relative to the bulk of the transition metal catalyst.
- the oxidized or reduced transition metal catalyst is the redox conjugate of the primary transition metal catalyst; i.e., for the M t n+ :M t m+ redox cycle, 90-99.9 mol% of transition metal M t atoms may be in the n + oxidation state and 0.1-10 mol% of transition metal M t atoms may be in the m' oxidation state.
- the term "redox conjugate” thus refers to the corresponding oxidized or reduced form of the transition metal catalyst. Oxidation states n and m are attained by transition metal M t as a consequence of conducting ATRP.
- an amount of redox conjugate sufficient to deactivate at least some of the radicals which may form at the beginning of polymerization greatly improves the polydispersity and control of the molecular weight of the product.
- the effects and importance of rates of exchange between growing species of different reactivities and different lifetimes, relative to the rate of propagation, has not been sufficiently explored in previous work by others, but has been found by the present Inventors to have a tremendous effect on polydispersity and control of molecular weight in living/controlled polymerizations.
- both conventional and controlled polymerizations comprise the reactions of initiating radicals with monomer at a rate constant k i , propagation of growing chains with monomer at a rate constant k p , and termination by coupling and/or disproportionation with an average rate constant k t .
- concentration of radicals at any given moment is relatively low, about 10 -7 mol/L or less.
- initiator is consumed very slowly (k dec ⁇ 10 -5 ⁇ 1 s -1 ). Furthermore, in conventional radical polymerization, the initiator half-lifetime is generally in the range of hours, meaning that a significant proportion of initiator remains unreacted, even after monomer is completely consumed.
- the initiator is largely consumed at low monomer conversion (e.g., 90% or more of initiator may be consumed at less than 10% monomer conversion).
- R-X and P-X bonds are homolytically cleaved to form initiating (R • ) or propagating (P • ) radicals and corresponding counter-radicals X • .
- the equilibrium position defines the momentary concentration of growing radicals, the polymerization rate and the contribution of termination.
- the dynamics of equilibration also affects polydispersity and the molecular weight of the polymer as a function of monomer conversion.
- the momentary concentration of radicals is reduced from 8 x 10 -7 M at 10% conversion to 3.3 x 10 -7 M at 50% conversion and 1.6 x 10 -7 M at 90% conversion.
- the concentration of deactivator increases from 1.2 x 10 -4 M at 10% conversion to 3 x 10 -4 M at 50% conversion and 6 x 10 -4 M at 90% conversion.
- the concentration of deactivator corresponds to the concentration of terminated chains, which at 90% monomer conversion, is only about 0.6% of all chains generated from the initiator.
- a small quantity of deactivator (redox conjugate) is sufficient to trap or quench the free radicals formed during polymerization. A large excess of redox conjugate is not necessary, although it does not have an adverse or continuous effect on the polymerization rate.
- a redox conjugate to ATRP also increases control of molecular weight and polydispersities by scavenging radicals formed by other processes, such as thermal self-initiation of monomer.
- scavenging radicals formed by other processes such as thermal self-initiation of monomer.
- CuCl 2 acts as an inhibitor of polymerization, and scavenges polymer chains at an early stage, preventing formation of a high molecular weight polymer which may be formed by thermal self-initiation.
- the rate of polymerization is not affected in a linear fashion by the amount or concentration of the deactivating agent (redox conjugate).
- the presence of 5 mol% of redox conjugate may be expected to decrease the polymerization rate 10-fold relative to 0.5 mol% of redox conjugate.
- 5 mol% of redox conjugate actually decreases the polymerization rate by a significantly smaller amount than 10-fold relative to 0.5 mol% of redox conjugate.
- the redox conjugate is present in an amount sufficient to deactivate at least some of the initially-formed initiator-monomer adduct radicals, thermal self-initiation radicals and subsequently-formed growing polymer radicals.
- One key to achieving narrow polydispersities is to control the polymerization reaction parameters such that the rate of radical deactivation is roughly the same as or greater than the rate of propagation.
- the improvement to the method comprises adding the transition metal redox conjugate to the reaction mixture prior to polymerizing.
- the improved process comprises adding the transition metal compound to the polymerization reaction mixture without purification.
- the improved ATRP method comprises exposing the transition metal compound to oxygen for a length of time prior to polymerizing the monomer(s).
- the source of oxygen is air, and the length of time is sufficient to provide from 0.1 to 10 mol% of the redox conjugate of the transition metal compound.
- This embodiment is particularly suitable when the transition metal is a Cu(I) compound, such as CuCl or CuBr.
- a radical initiator such as azobis(isobutyronitrile) (“AIBN”)
- AIBN azobis(isobutyronitrile)
- BPO benzoyl peroxide
- peroxy acid such as peroxyacetic acid or peroxybenzoic acid.
- the radical initiator is believed to initiate "reverse" ATRP in the following fashion: I-I ⁇ 2 I • I • + M ⁇ I-M • I-M • + n M ⁇ I-M n+1 • where "I” is the initiator, M t n X n-1 is the transition metal compound, M is the monomer, and I-M-X and M t n X n-1 participate in "conventional” or "forward” ATRP in the manner described above.
- the isolating step of the present process is conducted by known procedures, and may comprise evaporating any residual monomer and/or solvent, precipitating in a suitable solvent, filtering or centrifuging the precipitated polymer, washing the polymer and drying the washed polymer.
- Transition metal compounds may be removed by passing a mixture containing them through a column or pad of alumina, silica and/or clay. Alternatively, transition metal compounds may be oxidized (if necessary) and retained in the (co)polymer as a stabilizer.
- Precipitation can be typically conducted using a suitable C 5 -C 8 -alkane or C 5 -C 8 -cycloalkane solvent, such as pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane or mineral spirits, or using a C 1- C 6 -alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, or any mixture of suitable solvents.
- a suitable C 5 -C 8 -alkane or C 5 -C 8 -cycloalkane solvent such as pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane or mineral spirits, or using a C 1- C 6 -alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, or any mixture of suitable solvents.
- the solvent for precipitating is water, hexane, mixtures of hexanes, or methanol.
- the precipitated (co)polymer can be filtered by gravity or by vacuum filtration, in accordance with known methods (e.g., using a Büchner funnel and an aspirator). Alternatively, the precipitated (co)polymer can be centrifuged, and the supernatant liquid decanted to isolate the (co)polymer. The (co)polymer can then be can be washed with the solvent used to precipitate the polymer, if desired. The steps of precipitating and/or centrifuging, filtering and washing may be repeated, as desired.
- the (co)polymer may be dried by drawing air through the (co)polymer, by vacuum, etc., in accordance with known methods (preferably by vacuum).
- the present (co)polymer may be analyzed and/or characterized by size exclusion chromatography, NMR spectroscopy, etc., in accordance with known procedures.
- the various initiating systems of the present invention work for any radically polymerizable alkene, including (meth)acrylates, styrenes and dienes. It also provides various controlled copolymers, including block, random, alternating, gradient, star, graft or "comb,” and hyperbranched and/or dendritic (co)polymers. (In the present application, “(co)polymer” refers to a homopolymer, copolymer, or mixture thereof.) Similar systems have been used previously in organic synthesis, but have not been used for the preparation of well-defined macromolecular compounds.
- any radically polymerizable alkene can serve as a monomer for polymerization.
- monomers suitable for polymerization in the present method include those of the formula: wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, CN, straight or branched alkyl of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms (preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms) which may be substituted with from 1 to (2n+1) halogen atoms where n is the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group (e.g.

- alkenyl or alkynyl of 2 to 10 carbon atoms (preferably from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably from 2 to 4 carbon atoms) which may be substituted with from 1 to (2n-1) halogen atoms (preferably chlorine) where n is the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group (e.g.
- alkyl refers to straight-chain or branched groups (except for C 1 and C 2 groups).
- alkenyl and alkynyl may have sites of unsaturation at any adjacent carbon atom position(s) as long as the carbon atoms remain tetravalent, but ⁇ , ⁇ - or terminal (i.e., at the ⁇ - and ( ⁇ -1)-positions) are preferred.
- aryl refers to phenyl, naphthyl, phenanthryl, phenalenyl, anthracenyl, triphenylenyl, fluoranthenyl, pyrenyl, pentacenyl, chrysenyl, naphthacenyl, hexaphenyl, picenyl and perylenyl (preferably phenyl and naphthyl) in which each hydrogen atom may be replaced with halogen, alkyl of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms (preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and more preferably methyl) in which each of the hydrogen atoms may be independently replaced by an X group as defined above (e.g., a halide, preferably a chloride or a bromide), alkenyl or alkynyl of from 2 to 20 carbon atoms in which each of the hydrogen atoms may be independently replaced by an X group as defined above (e.g.,

- Hydrogels are polymers which, in the presence of water, do not dissolve, but absorb water and thus swell in size. These polymers have found wide applications ranging from drug delivery to oil recovery. Generally, these polymeric materials are synthesized by radical polymerization of a water-soluble material in the presence of a divinyl monomer.

- the present invention may also be used for producing gradient copolymers.
- Gradient copolymers form an entirely new class of polymers with a controlled structure and composition which changes gradually and in a systematic and predictable manner along the copolymer chain (Scheme 2). Due to this composition distribution and consequent unusual interchain interactions, gradient copolymers are expected to have very unique thermal properties (e.g., glass transition temperatures and/or melting points). They may also exhibit unprecedented phase separation and uncommon mechanical behavior, and may provide unique abilities as surfactants or as modifiers for blending incompatible materials.
- Gradient copolymers can be obtained in a system without a significant chain-breaking reaction, such as ATRP.
- ATRP chain-breaking reaction
- Gradient copolymers may be prepared via ATRP copolymerization of two or more monomers with different homopolymerization reactivity ratios (e.g., r 1 >> r 2 , where r 1 may be greater than 1 and r 2 may be less than 1).
- Such comonomers usually do not copolymerize randomly ( Odian , Principles of Polymerization , 3rd ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, p. 463 (1991)).

As long as the proportion of one monomer increases as the other(s) decrease(s) during the course of the copolymerization, the molar proportion of the one monomer increases along the length of the polymer chain as the other(s) decrease(s).
- the decrease of the monomer ratio along the length of the polymer chain a:b to c:d can be determined in accordance with the numbers of monomer units along the polymer chain.
- the number of subblocks must be smaller than the number of monomeric units in each subblock, but the subblocks may overlap by a number of monomer units smaller than the size of the subblock.
- the ratios may be determined for two 3-unit subblocks (e.g., (3-mer)-(3-mer)).

- Branched and hyperbranched polymers may also be prepared in accordance with the present invention.
- the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers has been explored to develop dendritic molecules in a single, one-pot reaction.
- Hyperbranched polymers are obtained by the reaction of AB 2 monomers in which A and B are moieties containing functional groups capable of reacting with each other to form stable bonds. Because of the AB 2 structure of the monomers, reaction of two monomers results in the formation of a dimer with one A group and three B groups. This process repeats itself by reaction with either monomer, dimer, trimer, etc., in a similar fashion to provide step-wise growth of polymers.
- the resulting polymer chains have only one A group and (n + 1) B groups, where n is the number of repeat units. Polymers resulting from these reactions are sometimes highly functionalized. These polymers, however, do not have perfectly symmetrical architectures, but rather, are of irregular shapes. This may be due to uneven growth of the macromolecule in various directions.
- the present hyperbranched polymers have some of the qualities of dendrimers, but may lack some properties of perfect dendrimers.
- the cationic process described by Frechet et al . ( Science 269 , 1080 (1995)) differs from the present synthesis of hyperbranched polymers not only in the mechanism of polymerization, but also by extending the reaction to primary benzyl halides.
- the present invention also concerns a process for preparing hyperbranched polymers (e.g., hyperbranched polystyrene) by atom or group transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), preferably in "one-pot” (e.g., in a single reaction sequence without substantial purification steps, and more specifically, in a single reaction vessel without any intermediate purification steps), using the present process and at least one radically polymerizable monomer in which at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 also contains a radically transferable X group, optionally in the absence of an initiator (or if an initiator is used, the X group of the monomer may be the same or different from the X group of the initiator).
- ATRP group transfer radical polymerization
- p-CMS p-chloromethylstyrene
- a transition metal compound e.g., Cu(I)
- ligand e.g., 2,2'-bipyridyl, or "bipy”
- the monomer may also act as initiator (e.g., the homopolymerization of p-CMS in the presence of Cu(I) and bipy). It is possible to remove the chlorine atom at the benzylic position homolytically, thus forming Cu(II)Cl 2 and a benzyl radical capable of initiating the polymerization of monomer through the double bonds (see Scheme 3). This results in the formation of a polymer chain with pendant groups consisting of p-benzyl chloride. Also, the polymer has a double bond at the chain end which can be incorporated into a growing polymer chain.

- the present invention also provides those (co)polymers in which the "X" substituent is located at either or both ends of the (co)polymer chain, on an internal monomeric unit, or any combination thereof.
- "Internal" X groups can be put into place by incorporating into the polymer chain a monomer having a substituent encompassed by the definition of "X" above.
- the number of branches will be at most 2 (a-1) -1, assuming all "X" groups are active in subsequent ATRP steps.
- a number "h” of "X" groups fail to react in subsequent ATRP steps (e.g., where one of the 1° or 2° Cl groups on a branch in the octamer shown in Scheme 3 below does not react in subsequent ATRP steps, but the other does)

- the subsequent number of branches is reduced by 2 h .

- a combination of ATRP and one or more other polymerization methods can also be used to prepare different blocks of a linear or star block copolymer (i.e., when extending one or several chains from a base (co)polymer).
- a combination of ATRP and one or more other polymerization methods can be used to prepare a "block homopolymer", in which distinct blocks of a homopolymer having one or more different properties (e.g., tacticity) are prepared by different polymerization processes.

- the obtained polymer was placed in a water bath for 3 days.
- the equilibrium water content was 89%.
- AIBN 0.0106 g
- VAc-Styrene 2.50 g
- the contents of the flask were placed under vacuum and backfilled with argon three times.
- Previously degassed DMSO (20.0 ml) and N-vinyl pyrrolidinone 7.5 ml were added to the flask by syringe.
- the reaction was then heated to 60 °C for 20 hours.
- a highly viscous fluid was obtained and diluted with DMF (30.0 ml).
- the reaction mixture was precipitated into water.
- the precipitate was a white, jelly-like mass.
- the liquid was decanted, the precipitate was air-dried overnight, and then dried under vacuum at 70 °C to produce the obtained polymer.
- a 3:1:1 molar ratio of ligand (2,2'-bipyridyl [bipy] or 4,4'-di-n-heptyl-2,2'-bipyridyl [dHbipy]) to initiator (PhCH 2 SCN) to transition metal compound (CuSCN) was used for each polymerization.
- the initiator system components were weighed and combined in air under ambient conditions. The reactions were run in bulk according to the procedure of Example 4, but at 120 °C.
- the bipy reactions showed less than optimal molecular weight control, but the dHbipy reactions showed excellent molecular weight control. It is believed that PDI can be improved further by increasing the amount or concentration of Cu(II) at the beginning of polymerization.
- the macro ATRP initiator poly(p-chloromethylstyrene), PCMS, was synthesized by polymerizing p-chloromethylstyrene (0.02 mol) in benzene (50%) at 60°C for 24 hours using ICH 2 CN (0.0023 mol) and AIBN (0.0006 mol). Yield: 92%.
- PSt-VAc Vinyl acetate end-capped PSt
- One of the advantages of ATRP process is that one can synthesize well-defined end-functional polymers by using functional alkyl halides and transition metal species (Scheme 4).
- Tables 11 and 12 report the characterization data of ATRP's of St using various functional alkyl halides as initiators under typical ATRP experimental conditions.
- ATRP can also be successfully used to produce well-defined di- and tri-block copolymers by means of sequential addition technique.
- di- and tri-block copolymers of St and MA obtained are very well defined, regardless of monomer addition order.
- the molecular weights are close to theoretical, and molecular weight distributions remain very narrow, M w /M n from - 1.0 to - 1.25. SEC traces show that almost no first polymer contaminates the final block copolymer.
- ATRP is superior to living ionic polymerization for producing well-controlled block copolymers.
- the experimental conditions are relatively mild.
- cross-propagation is facile, leading to block copolymerization regardless of monomer addition order, as exemplified by the MA and St copolymerization above.
- tri-block copolymers can be easily obtained by using a di-functional initiator.
- star-shaped block copolymers can be obtained by using multi-functional alkyl halides.
- Table 13 lists the results regarding synthesis of four-arm and six-arm star-shaped PSt using 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzene and hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene as initiator, respectively.
- the molecular weight distribution is fairly narrow, i.e., M w /M n ⁇ 1.3
- the M n of these star-shaped polymers linearly increases with monomer conversion, indicating the presence of negligible amount of chain in transfer reactions (data not shown).
- a key question involves whether the forming polymers have six or four arms.
- ATRP of deuterated styrene was performed using hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene as an initiator in the presence of 2 molar equiv. of CuBr and 6 molar equiv of bipy at 110°C, the same experimental conditions employed for synthesizing the six-arm PSt listed in Table 13. Except for the observation of a -CH 2 - resonance at ca. 1.55 ppm, the 1 H NMR signals corresponding to -CH 2 Br, which usually resonate at ca. 5.0 ppm, cannot be detected at all in the 1 H NMR spectrum of the PSt-d 8 .
- 4- and 6-arm PMA and PMMA can also be synthesized by using the same technique for star-shaped St polymerization. However, it may be advantageous to lower the concentration of the catalyst (e.g., CuBr - bipy), otherwise gelation may occur at a relatively low monomer conversion.
- the concentration of the catalyst e.g., CuBr - bipy
